Question
Chapter 2, Problem 3CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : A shell representation and Lewis structure for ion of fluorine that is most likely to be stable should be drawn.
Concept Introduction : A legitimate Lewis structure is an electron dot and line bond representation in which the total number of valence electrons is indicated. Number of valence electrons around hydrogen is two. Number of valence electrons around carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine atom is eight. This is called the octet rule.
